“Much of the success the UK cinema sector has enjoyed in being one of the most secure film territories in recent years can be put down to the dedication and expertise that Simon Brown has brought to his role in leading efforts to tackle film theft in cinemas, firstly in FACT and now in leading the Film Content Protection Agency. Many of the innovations that Simon has brought to the job have been picked up by his counterparts in other countries.

Although operating in different spheres and different companies, Kam Dosanjh and Duncan Reynolds both command huge respect and admiration across the entire industry for the contribution they have each made to transforming the UK cinema landscape.

I am sure that all Association members and colleagues across the industry will join me in congratulating Simon, Kam and Duncan on this much-deserved recognition.”
